APC Primary: Nwoko Rejects Result, Threatens Legal Battle Over Delta North Contest
Fresh political tension is building within the ruling party after a dramatic reaction emerged from the aftermath of a contested senatorial primary election. What was expected to settle the race has now opened a new chapter of accusations, unanswered questions, and the possibility of a legal showdown.
The controversy centers on the outcome of the All Progressives Congress senatorial primary in Delta North, where competing claims are now creating uncertainty and drawing attention from party supporters and political observers.
Ned Nwoko has firmly rejected the announced result of the primary election, insisting that he secured victory and that the outcome did not accurately reflect what happened during the voting process.
The senator challenged the declaration of Ifeanyi Okowa as winner of the exercise, alleging irregularities in the collation and announcement of results.
According to Nwoko, party officials allegedly instructed that results should not be announced at the ward level during the process and instead directed that figures be gathered and later announced at the national headquarters in Abuja.
He also questioned the credibility of some figures associated with the exercise, arguing that videos and turnout evidence available to his camp did not align with results eventually declared.
The lawmaker stated that his team had already submitted results and video materials from all 98 wards within the senatorial district and maintained that he would challenge the outcome through legal means.
Despite his strong objections, Nwoko indicated that he would continue supporting the APC and would not work against the party, while expressing confidence that intervention could still emerge regarding the situation.
As political conversations continue, attention is now turning toward the courts and party leadership structures. Will the dispute be resolved internally, or could it trigger a prolonged political battle with wider implications?
For now, the Delta North primary drama appears far from over.
